Subaru Fun on Lake Poygan
 
If you haven’t taken your car out onto the ice for some ice racing and shenanigans... let me tell you, you are missing out. Finally got back out there this year, and not a moment too soon! Threw some clips together with some overly dramatic music for fun!

Looks like a blast. Gotta do that someday.

Looks fun! Great aerials from the drone too.

Looks so awesome! Really need to come out and try it. How's sliding in the ice compared to dry and wet tarmac?

Its a completely different concept. I'll take snow and ice any day over wet and dry. So much more fun.

So reckless. What if you hit a curb or a light poll. Oh did you say a lake? Hahaha

But seriously, I’m from Florida. The thought of driving on a frozen lake and trusting it will not break and fall through doesn’t compute. Hahaha

Love it! Thanks for the video :drool:

Haha, we aren't COMPLETELY dumb! They measure the ice beforehand. The bore drill actually bottomed out at 15", and you only need like 10" to support a large truck. Oh, and the lake is massive, but it at the DEEPEST point it's only 11 feet deep, so it isn't as spooky as driving on ice over water that's two miles deep, lol.

I wasn't doubting there were safety precautions at this event. Just saying as a Floridian it sounds terrifying. Hahaha

are you (or anyone) running studded tires? Or just snows?
we used to do this with our MX bikes, we'd put hex head screws in the knobby tires. Loads of fun.

I was running on studless winter tires (General Altimax Arctics), but of the 93 entrants, 10 of them were using the bolted style studded tires.
